"W-What?"

Donghyuck tugged his lips in a smirk as Shotaro was lost for words. Yangyang was also speechless while Jaemin pursed his lips in a thin line. The tanned male just stared at the japanese with serious looks, wanting to see how the new patient would react.

"H-Hold on, Hyuck, I don't think that's a good idea–" Jaemin tried to stop him but the tanned male just shut his mouth by pressing a finger on his lips.

"A dare's a dare." Donghyuck shrugged and turned to look at Shotaro, "You have to do it."

"Listen, Hyuck. You don't understand. The new kid's illness has something to do with Shotaro's and I'm afraid  something would happen to him." Jaemin explained, but that doesn't stop Donghyuck from changing his mind.

The tanned male crossed his arms, "Then what kind of a psycho is he?"

Jaemin yet again pursed his lips in a thin line, he can't answer that. All he knew is that it has something to do with Shotaro's illness, as mentioned by Dr. Qian the moment he was admitted to the irregular ward.

Not knowing they were being eavesdropped, the boy behind the dividers smirked as his hands made their way to the table, feeling the familiar shape of the pin. Taking it in his finger, he started pick locking the chains– until a faint click was heard.

"I-I'll do it." Shotaro softly and calmly stopped the two from bickering, ignoring the irregular beating of his heart.

Sure the new kid's illness won't hurt him.. right?

Shotaro stood up, Jaemin was about to stop him when he felt Donghyuck hold his arm down. The white haired male cursed under his breath, surely they will be in trouble because of this.

The japanese heaved a deep breath, taking short and baby steps towards the divider, and gulped as he stopped just before he can see the patient. Shotaro gave a glance at Yangyang, Jaemin, and Donghyuck, taking another deep breath and closing his eyes before stepping forward.

He doesn't know why he's scared, he didn't even know what his illness was, but hearing Jaemin's words made him shiver. Jaemin closed his eyes, tearing them away from Shotaro.

Jisung and Chenle were also watching, wanting to see what the new kid is capable of.

Shotaro exhaled, opening his eyes to see a rather built figure sitting on the bed. He blinked, taking a step as he glanced at the written words on the clipboard pinned on the bed.

"Jung.. S-Sungchan-ssi?" He muttered softly, eyes widening when he saw a sly smirk plastered on his face.

Just before he could do anything, Shotaro felt himself being pinned on the ground, with the boy on top of him as the japanese's breath hitched.

Donghyuck's eyes widened as Yangyang and Jaemin gasped at the loud sound echoing inside the room.

Shotaro pursed his lips in a thin line, making eye contact with the boy who just pinned him on the ground. He would be lying if he didn't find him attractive, but seeing the stare this Sungchan dude is giving him made him shiver. The japanese turned his head to the side, not wanting to look at the creepy stare given to him, and unintentionally exposed his neck a bit which he didn't know triggered something in Sungchan's point of view.

If it wasn't for Sungchan's sane side finding this dude innocent and should be taken care of like glass, he would've devoured his neck and drank his blood then and there.

Chenle saw all of this and thought Shotaro is going to die before hastily jumping down from his bed and ran towards the emergency button in between Mark and Yuta's bed, pressing it as red lights were blinking and sirens were heard in the room.

Jaemin covered his ears, finding the noise annoying as Donghyuck stayed in his spot (still in shock). Yangyang stood up and is about to pull the two away when a hand stopped him from doing so.

"Don't."

Yangyang looked behind him to see one of the first patients in the ward, Taeyong.

"Renfield's syndrome." Taeyong stared at how Sungchan's lips were quivering as he licked his lips, wanting to savor Shotaro then and there. "He's addicted and obsessed with blood. To the point where he wants to drink it. His sane side is still there, stopping himself from hurting Taro."

"S-Stop the noise, please.." Jaemin uttered, snapping Donghyuck to reality.

Nurses soon opened the door of the ward, earning the attention of the patients as they rushed to where Sungchan and Shotaro are – pulling them away.

Sungchan's sane side disappeared and started to free himself from the hold of the three nurses holding him down.

"Let me drink." Sungchan's voice echoed, earning shivers down everybody's spine at how deep and manipulative it sounds.

"Dr. Qian!" A nurse that was holding Sungchan stammered, having a hard time to hold the giant down.

Kun was alarmed, seeing Shotaro stare at him as he was being pulled away from Sungchan. He did warn Shotaro not to come closer, but what did he do?

"Lock Sungchan in one room right now," Kun ordered.

Donghyuck paled. This was all his fault for not listening.
